Abstract excerpt
The genetic diversity of a field population (recently collected in Melquiades, Brazil) and two laboratory strains (LE and NMRI) of a human blood fluke, Schistosoma mansoni, were analysed using microsatellite markers. Data from the three groups showed an extreme and consistent discrepancy in the level of polymorphism at all microsatellite loci between the field population and laboratory populations. The numbers of...
